Welcome

The Missouri S&T SWE student chapter is a part of the Region I District of the Society of Women Engineers. Our members are encouraged to get involved and take advantage of the many opportunities our section provides. These opportunities include taking the lead in various roles of our community outreach, precollege programs, fundraising, and regional and national conferences.

Our chapter is very active on campus and in the local community.  Outreach is very important to our goal of increasing the awareness of engineering and science to students at a younger age. Members visit local schools on "STEAM Days" demonstrating science, math, engineering, art, and mathematic principles. Our other outreach includes Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, SWENext, and more which can be found in our Outreach page. We have also joined forces with the Women's Program to co-sponsor a semiannual Lock-In conference for female high school juniors and seniors and prospective college transfer students who would like to learn more about studying science, engineering, or math at Missouri S&T. Visit the Lock-In page for more information.

Meetings are held each week in the Computer Science building in room 121. The majority of meetings feature guest speakers from a wide variety of industries to give insight about their company, industry, and career. Some speakers are even S&T and SWE alumni! We also have fun activities planned throughout the semester to help our members destress and prepare themselves for the exciting events around campus like the career fair. Students with a MinerLink account can register for our meetings and events on MinerLink under 'Society of Women Engineers'.

Our chapter is also very involved with SWE conferences. Eligible members can travel to the regional and/or national conference to partake in SWE programming covering a plethora of career-related topics. SWE conferences also hold sizeable career fairs for members to network and find unique job opportunities. To attend these conferences, our membership and executive board brainstorm fundraising ideas every semester to help make it affordable to more of our members.  

But it's not all about math and science! Our section strives to provide a welcoming and fun environment in which all women on campus can come together and create everlasting bonds and friendships.

Are you interested in what we do or want to learn more? We invite you to join us at one of our meetings or outreach events.  We would love to have you! If you have any questions or are interested in speaking at one of our meetings just send us an email (swe@mst.edu)!
